Perfect Day for an Outdoor Shoot




Today was perfect to shoot outside — 80 degrees with no humidity, beautiful clouds in the sky and a breeze. And to make it even better, there were no crowds at every location, we had them all to ourselves. I wish everyday was this perfect when I was shooting, I would never go back into a studio!

I managed to get a variety of shots. I tend to use my lights too much and make it look like night when I shoot outside during the day. That wall shot was shot before the water shot, around 1 pm. I have a bunch from that series that look like afternoon, but I don't like them as much. And the water shot was a good challenge for me, full sun and one light to use as fill. Not to mention a fountain full of water to drop things in, which I did, but nothing electrical.

I haven't shot many men, I think I'm getting better at it.
